The 2018 Face of Leadership™ BC and Tech Scorecards are out!

We are pleased to announce the release of the 2018 Face of Leadership™ BC Scorecard, and inaugural edition of the Tech Scorecard. For the second year, only 3/50 CEOs of BC’s top revenue-generating companies are female. This statistic contrasts women’s representation of 47% of BC’s total workforce, and the national trend of more Canadian women...

This week, Canada celebrates its first National Gender Equality Week from September 23 – 29. We’ve prepared this handy list of ideas you can use to #PromoteHer at home and in the workplace.

Ida Adamowicz, current participant in Minerva BC’s Women Leading the Way™ program, shares her thoughts on entrepreneurship and the importance of shaping your own lens.

This year, Minerva BC is pleased to host two dates for the Face of Leadership™ Luncheon, bringing together business leaders in Prince George and Vancouver for an afternoon of leadership learning and networking.

Whether this recent heat wave means lying on a beach or curling under an air conditioner with a good book, it’s a great opportunity to boost your leadership learning. Check out Minerva BC’s staff picks for the summer.

In the Spring of 2017, Minerva BC received a compelling Learning to Lead™ application from a high school student in Kamloops. Autumn Walkem, in Grade 11 at the time, expressed a deep interest in developing her confidence, using her voice, and learning about her own potential for leadership. There was a personal stake for Autumn, who wanted to better represent her indigenous community and “be a voice to protect the earth”.

In this edition of Donor Spotlight, we’d like to introduce Ann Naymie. Ann was looking to fund a Learning to Lead™ scholarship for a recipient that she felt would most positively benefit from the experience, someone that would go on to truly make a difference in the world. We matched Ann to Autumn Walkem, and the connection was instantaneous.

It was another fabulous weekend at St. John’s College (UBC) for Learning to Lead™ presented by Shaw. Congratulations to all 50 girls for showing up wholeheartedly and being ready to connect, reflect, and embrace the experience.

Spring Fling brought Women Leading the Way™ alumnae together to reconnect over wine and new wear.

In this edition of Donor Spotlight, we’d like to introduce a remarkable individual, Chad Bentley. Chad will be competing in the Epic 5 Ultra Triathalon Challenge, an incredible adventure that will take him to Hawaii to compete in five Ironman competitions in just five days(!)

the face of leadership is changing
